  • Free feet (and my dramatic confession) w/ Nina Oyama
    Jun 18 2025

    This episode has it all: bisexual school trauma, cosmetic procedure panic, and the unexpected chaos of having a hot gyno.

    I’m joined by the wildly talented, hilarious Nina Oyama from Deadloch, Taskmaster, Thank God You're Here and every other Aussie TV comedy! We unpack whether or not we’re getting filler, what it was like being super queer in an all-girls school that wasn’t exactly chill about it, and the extremely uncomfortable experience of trying to keep eye contact during a pelvic exam.

    Also: I make a very dramatic confession about something I’ve never admitted publicly before. Spoiler alert… it’s about hair. And yes — there’s also some foot content. Unintentional, but appreciated by a very specific demographic...

    Jun 11 2025

    Hey y'all!!

    I'm so sorry I've been bad with the episodes!! I think most of you know I do all the editing and what not myself which I looove to do, but it takes some tiiiime y'all!! Anywho, with some technical difficulties/ delays and way too much on, I just cannot get it done for you this week!!

    I've got some verrrry fun eps coming up over the next month or so as we get closer to the hundredth!! BUT in the meantime, if you're looking for a good listen, not that it's at all like this show, I have a podcast to recommend! I listened to it earlier today and thought it was a very interesting and important conversation articulated brilliantly. Check out this episode of KICPOD w/ Dr Zac Seidler!

    See ya next week!
